Moreover, in the plasma's abrupt collapse phenomenon caused by the tongue, as a
result of a detailed investigation of the
velocity distribution of protons they observed for the first time the distorted
velocity distribution.
Conventional laser - powered proton acceleration
results in proton bunches in which the
velocity distribution is exponential, i.e. most of the particles are accelerated to relatively low
velocities and very few are ejected from the target at the highest speeds.
As a
result, it is possible by way of kinetic theory to derive, based only on the average temerature of the gas, a
distribution of all the
velocities of the molecules.
It can be studied by semi-classical statistical mechanics and the
result is that the
velocities of molecules (translational kinetic energy) within a volume of gas in equilibrium are distributed according to the Maxwell - Boltzmann
distribution.
The
result is dependent on the mathematical form of the Maxwell - Boltzmann
distribution through the equation (5), whose simple form is true specifically for the Maxwell - Boltzmann
velocity distribution of the vertical
velocity.
